  • Patent number: 9266758
    Abstract: A process for treating halide contaminated waste includes bringing the contaminated waste into contact with a reductone in an aqueous solution to obtain a mixture having a pH value, and adjusting the pH value to permit dissociation of two hydrogen ions from an enediol group of the reductone and to permit subsequent reaction of the reductone with an electrophilic site of halide contained in the contaminated waste. Halide can thus be removed.
